have you ever heard of chlorella?
i hadn’t even heard or read the word until sun chlorella contacted me. in fact, i had no idea to even pronounce the word. so, if you know what it is and know how to pronounce it, you’ve got one up on me.
if you are on my level and totally clueless, let me fill you in! learning is fun.
chlorella, pronounced klo-rel-a, is a nutritionally superior species of freshwater, single-celled, green algae.
as i mentioned above, sun chlorella contacted me to try out and review their products.
the company states that sun chlorella is “nature’s perfect superfood” and “mother nature’s superfood” because it is derived from a lineage of pure green algae that have existed naturally on earth for thousands of years.
sun chlorella provides vital nutrients that our bodies need such as potassium, all of the B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, iron, eighteen vital amino acids, beta caroten and letein. (wow.)
if that isn’t enough information to process, here is a little more…
sun chlorella is rich in chlorella growth factor (CGF), which gives our bodies a revitalizing boost. CGF is the key to chlorella’s ability to rapidly reproduce itself during growth, can help speed up our own revitalization process within our bodies.
sun chlorella is also rich in chlorophyll (more like bore-o-phyll! hehe couldn’t resist).. it contains the highest percentage of natural chlorophyll, nature’s most powerful purifying agent, of any plant source.
the sun chlorella products i received came in both tablet and powder form.
the sun chlorella A tablets are super green! i had no idea what to expect but i wasn’t expecting such a bold shade of green.
these tablets contain no artificial colors, flavors or chemicals. they are freakishly green on their own.
one serving is 15 tablets (or 3 grams) which can be taken all at once or spaced throughout the day.
if you don’t want to mess with tablets, the sun chlorella also comes in granule form.
each packet is a 3 gram serving of nutrient packed chlorella.
again, a brilliant green color!
the little packets are super handy for mixing into smoothies, and if you hate taking pills then this is a great option.
to give you an idea of how this stuff measures up.. here is an ounce per ounce list taken from their website. sun chlorella contains the following:
- Six times more beta-carotene than spinach
- More dietary fiber than leading fruits and vegetables
- More complete protein per serving than soy – and twice as much as steak
- Higher nucleic acid content than any food – even more than sardines – for slowing down the visible signs of aging
- 50 times the antioxidants and flavonoids as Vitamin C or Vitamin E for fighting free radical damage
- The world’s highest concentration of chlorophyll – the powerful blood detoxifier and toxin eradicator…Sun chlorella has five times more chlorophyll than spirulina, wheatgrass, or barley grass. And ten times more chlorophyll than alfalfa, from which most commercial chlorophyll is extracted.
- Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF), found only in chlorella, this unique substance revitalizes cells – keeping them young – and builds up your natural defense system.
- 18 powerfull amino acids including glutamic acid to help sharpen memory and defense boosting lysine, and arginine to enhance your natural production of immune cells.
- More than 20 vitamins and minerals to encourage optimum health and energy.
here is a bit more about why you would want to take sun chlorella (taken from their website):
Sun Chlorella has the powerful ability to help detoxify your body. Since additives are almost impossible to avoid in today’s food supply, it’s important to take Sun Chlorella regularly. In fact, we highly recommend that you take a serving of Sun Chlorella with each meal, because whatever pesticide may be in the food that you are eating can be absorbed by the chlorella, and may not even get a chance to be absorbed into your body.
These chemicals in the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe bind to the chlorella, and are then excreted through our stool, urine, and sweat. One serving of Sun Chlorella is equivalent to one serving of fresh green vegetables (without the pesticides)!
i will say the one down side to all these benefits is that these supplements don’t come cheap.
a 20-day supply of either the tablets or granules is $38.25, so roughly $2 a day. if you buy in bulk, you can catch a break and get a 100-day supply for $157.50, which is roughly $1.57 a day.
however, if you can afford it, i think the benefits of the sun chlorella products are worth the price. some people, including myself, are willing to pay for high quality supplements and vitamins.
i am always into learning more about (and trying out!) new supplements and vitamins. i only try things out that i truly believe i will benefit from. the fact that sun chlorella is all-natural and boasts so many health benefits really appealed to me and that is why i accepted their offer to try out the product.
if you are interested in trying sun chlorella out for yourself, they have offered to give one of you guys a 20 day supply of each products: the tablets and the granules. an $80 value!

I love chlorella! And you are right; it is not cheap. One thing that I’ve learned about chlorella, that is not stated explicitly on the sun chlorella site, is that it is delicious on air-popped corn. With a dash of nooch too.

I learned that sun chlorella has the widest range of nutrients from any one single food source! And will also help reduce my craving for unhealty foods… So obviously I wanna put it in my smoothies every morning.
Today I learned that chlorella boosts your metabolism and reduces cravings. HECK YES.
i’ve been taking chlorella for a couple of years now to help with digestion and detox and i LOVE it. when i went to the sun chlorella website i learned that they also manufacture it for pets – i had no idea! pretty cool. it is pricey so for someone who takes this daily like me, this would be a terrific win! thanks :)
I was shocked that sun chlorella contains the single widest range of nutrients from a single food source!!!
It sounds interesting. Are you going to try them? What I learned is that they are expensive, but also my pet can take the Pet Sun Chlorella, and I really love my animals, so I would spend the money if it would benefit them.
I have read that it will help with my digestive issues!
I learned it can help boost your metabolism!
I tweeted and I’m following on twitter!

I love that the sun chorella can help counteract the additives we’re eating in other foods!
pesticides can be absorbed by chlorella!
No lie, I was looking for chlorella at Whole Foods yesterday. I couldn’t find what I was looking for, which is a quick and easy form of vegan protein to sneak in during my day!
Sounds interesting, I’ve never heard of this. I went to their site and learned that they have this not only for humans but for pets as well!
Following them and I tweeted!

It has omega-3 AND omega 6 fatty acids. Nice!
I didn’t know Pet Sun Chlorella can be beneficial for dogs – very cool!
this stuff looks amazing!
after browsing their webpage, i learned that the chlorella can act like a detox for my body… and i can buy some for my pup too!
After perusing their website, I learned a ton about the vast array of algaes! Who knew! And I love the fact that it can help your cells detoxify, purging toxins out of your bloodstream!
Sounds like a great product! I found this interesting: …helping to reduce percent body fat, support blood pressure and total serum cholesterol that are already in the normal range, and fasting glucose levels (1,2) as part of a healthy diet and exercise program
I learnt that a single serving of Chlorella is equal to a serving of fresh green veggies .
Such a great product!
I learned: “Sun Chlorella includes chlorophyll which has the ability to help detoxify your body, ridding the body of toxins present in our food as well as in the environment, as these toxins and heavy metals bind to chlorella.”
Hey Janetha, love meals and moves!
I learned that taking it can help prevent your body from absorbing pesticides because the product will absorb them.
Thanks!
This stuff looks amazing, I’m looking forward to trying it. I browsed the website and learned that Sun Chlorella contains a full range of nutrients including those helpful for digestion health such as fiber, amino acids and Omega-3 and -6 fatty acids.
I love your blog! Thanks for the great giveaway! :)
Wow, that is amazing stuff! It is amazing that if there are pesticides on the food, the chlorella will absorb it before our bodies do.
Wow, chlorella is great for so many reasons! I find it interesting that it helps even with the eye health – that is really something I could benefit from:)
I find it interesting that this could be excellent for pets too! It’s great to know that chlorella provides the essential nutrients for them :D
I found it interesting that the chlorela could help with digestive issues. Anything that will do that while providing so many good nutrients AND detoxifying your body must be a good addition to your daily food.
i would be interested to try these for their digestion benefits: I need a lot of help in that dept! I now take digestive enzymes but I learned that these have fiber in them as well as enzymes! Plus, I am intrigued by its ‘detoxifying qualities’
boosting brain power, energy, digestion…what doesnt it do. i think i am most impressed with the amino and nucleic acids, B vitamins, Omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, beta carotene, and vitamins C and E for optimal mental performance
Followed them on twitter and tweeted about the giveaway!
I now like Sun Chlorella on facebook!

Haha I learned that I’ve been saying it wrong… whoops! Very cool that it helps with preventative care.
Chlorella is a type of green algae..Nice. Haha, sounds appetizing no? I would like to try some after reading about all the benefits.
Haha this post came at the perfect time because I received a sample of chlorella in the mail with my protein powder last week. I was like “what the heck is this stuff?”! Now I’m not afraid to try it. Maybe it will give me wings?
Not entering the giveaway, just wanted to say thanks for explaining what the stuff is!
